Senior AI judgement, on your side of the table.

Founder-led AI consulting for opportunity audits, build-versus-buy decisions, governance, architecture and weekly production delivery.

Strategy and architecture from the people who build it. We help you pick the right AI bet, design it properly the first time, and ship the hard parts with your team.

Where are you right now?

Pick the sentence that sounds most like your team. We'll show you the engagement that fits — and why.

Explore: We know AI matters — but where do we start?

Recommended: Strategy Brief. Start with a Strategy Brief: we map 3–5 ranked AI opportunities against your data + stack and return a 90-day go/no-go roadmap.

Architect: We have a use case. We need the right architecture.

Recommended: Architectural Campaign. Run an Architectural Campaign: data-to-model selection, RAG/agent design, working prototype, and a production readiness plan.

Ship: We're mid-build. We need senior execution help.

Recommended: Architectural Campaign. Architectural Campaign with a sprint overlap — we plug into your team, ship the hard parts, and hand off a proven playbook.

Scale: We're live. We need optimization + ops.

Recommended: Embedded Ops. Go with Embedded Ops: a weekly working session, on-demand architecture reviews, continuous evals, and cost/latency tuning.

Three ways to work together. Priced up front.

Fixed fees or capped time-and-materials. No utilisation theatre, no surprise invoices, no lock-in.

Strategy Brief

Sprint · direction

1–2 weeks · from €5K fixed fee · NDA · no lock-in

  • Reference architecture (diagrams + decision log + ADRs)
  • Data → model selection with evaluations against your tasks
  • Prototype or production MVP built on your stack
  • Evals, guardrails, observability + cost model
  • Production readiness plan + team handover playbook

Embedded Ops

Retainer · senior copilot

3+ months · from €15K/mo monthly retainer · 30-day notice

Best for: For post-launch AI operators who need a senior force-multiplier embedded in the team.

  • Weekly working sessions + async Slack/Linear presence
  • On-demand architecture reviews + second opinions
  • Continuous eval pipeline + regression catches
  • Cost + latency + quality tuning
  • Team enablement: playbooks, reviews, pairing sessions

How an engagement runs.

Understand before recommending. Compare options with numbers. Ship on your stack. Keep it sharp after launch.

P1 · Discover

Understand before recommending · 3–5 days

We read your codebase, map your data, meet the people who run it, and audit the stack. Nothing gets designed in a vacuum.

P2 · Architect

Option space, not opinions · 1–2 weeks

We draft 2–3 architecture options with RAG vs agents vs fine-tune trade-offs, run micro-benchmarks, and choose by numbers.

P3 · Deploy

Shipping is the deliverable · 2–6 weeks

We build the hard parts end-to-end with your team, wire up evals + guardrails, and bring it to production on your stack.

P4 · Operate

Keep it sharp in the wild · Ongoing

Weekly evals against regression suites, cost/latency tuning, model swaps when better ones ship, and playbooks for your team.

Results, not decks.

Three engagements, told the way a CFO would want to read them.

FinTech support concierge

FinTech

Problem: 80% of L1 tickets were repeat questions. CSAT falling.

Solution: Private RAG over policies + ticket history · tiered model routing · guardrails + escalation.

Outcome: −47% support cost · +18pt CSAT · 92% first-contact resolution

E-commerce Gen-AI pages

D2C retail

Problem: Generic PDPs eroding conversion vs niche competitors.

Solution: Generative personalised product pages · cached variants · A/B at edge.

Outcome: +3.2× conversion on top 500 SKUs · 73ms p95 latency · €1.4M GMV in 90 days

Clinical Q&A for staff

Healthcare

Problem: Clinicians wasting hours searching protocols + drug charts.

Solution: Hybrid RAG on curated corpus · attribution citations · offline eval harness.

Outcome: 92% factual accuracy · 400 staff onboarded in 8 weeks · 35min/day saved

Founder-led. Senior on every call.

The person who scopes your brief designs the architecture and ships the hard parts. No bait-and-switch, no rotating account managers.

How we operate.

Delivery > decks

Every engagement ends in production or an implementation-ready blueprint. No 40-slide PDFs that die in a drive.

Specificity wins

One great use case beats ten mediocre ones. We kill the fluff and over-index on the highest-leverage opportunity.

Model-agnostic

We follow the evals, not the vendor. Your stack gets what performs today — and can swap what performs tomorrow.

Senior-only

Founders and staff engineers on every engagement. No junior handoff, no rotating account managers.

Transparent pricing

Fixed fees or capped T&M, priced per scope. No surprise invoices, no utilisation theatre.

Your stack, your repo

We build on what you already run. We leave when you tell us to — with playbooks that survive our departure.

Before you ask.

How much does a Strategy Brief cost?

Brief engagements start at €5K and conclude with an actionable go/no-go you can execute with any partner — no lock-in.

Do you build it, or just design it?

Both. We architect, prototype, and ship the hard parts. Production hand-off works with your team, or we stay embedded via retainer.

Which models do you work with?

Claude 4.6/4.7, GPT-5 / 4.1, Gemini 2.5 Pro/Flash, Llama 3.x, Mistral, Kimi, and fine-tuned open-source. Model-agnostic — the stack fits the use case.

Is this enterprise-ready?

Yes. SOC2 paths, PII redaction, VPC endpoints, private RAG, audit logs. Most engagements close with a compliance checklist signed off.

How fast can we start?

Strategy Briefs typically kick off within 5 business days of sign-off. Architectural Campaigns take ~10 days to schedule. Retainers require a 30-day onboarding.

Who is on the other side?

Founder-led. Every engagement is senior — you get the strategist who scopes it and the engineer who builds it, no bait-and-switch.

Do you sign NDAs?

Default. We send a mutual NDA with the first call invite. Your repo, data samples, and internal docs never leave your perimeter without it.

Can you work with our existing agency / dev shop?

Yes. A common pattern is us as senior architects; your agency as hands-on builders. We document clean handoffs so nobody is blocked.

Bring the hard question. Leave with a direction.

A strategy call is 30 minutes with the founder, with a mutual NDA by default.
